Process hazards and the ensuing risk to process plants do not go away with the reduced staffing levels that might be brought about during or shortly after a pandemic. The industry is facing an unprecedented scenario, striving to cope with business continuity, health and safety of workers, and protection of local communities from process hazards and hazards related to pandemics. New challenges arise while existing issues remain ever-present, leading to higher complexity in the management of safety and risk. Planning for and tackling such an event requires a good understanding of best practices to limit the virus spread, the unique operating changes that may be caused by an outbreak, and challenges faced by both the operators and the management team. Research may have a crucial role in contributing to answering such new needs and in supporting the effort to develop and implement new management approaches to reduce and control risks in this new framework.

A traditional rule-based approach to the design of engineered systems consists of three main phases: conceptual design, preliminary design, and detail design. This approach constitutes a powerful tool for specification and utilization of general knowledge in design. When it comes to the operation of engineered systems, operators are likely to follow the technical guidelines that offer prescriptive requirements based on currently available knowledge and experience.
